Welcome Darwin Jay De Priest, Grand-Baby #6!

An Exhausted Mommy and Baby

Our youngest daughter, Hannah and her husband, Devin now have an 8 lb, 13 Oz baby boy named Darwin, He is 21 in long, born on the 6th of March 2021. Hannah had a very long labor, which finally ended with an emergency cesarean section early yesterday afternoon. We are so grateful for all your thoughts and prayers for them. Our family chat was filled with love, and we are so  delighted to see siblings and extended family supporting each other with such deep devotion.

We join with all of you, including Devin's parents, Carol and Derek De Priest in this wonderful celebration of a new grandchild in our midst. It is ironic that this is the first grandchild which we've had the privilege to be near during birth, but because of COVID, we were remanded to electronic communication. We're so grateful that new-daddy-Devin was able to be there the whole time. Because of the C-section, they will likely be coming home on Kristy's birthday, March 9th. I think that's a fitting birthday present!  Whatever day Grandma Kristy gets to hold Baby Darwin will be perfect.

Baby Darwin-A Big Boy!

Over the years, we've had the privilege of spending quality time with the five older grandchildren:  Rebecca's daughter Cameryn, Katie's daughter Jamisyn, and Erial's children,  Ellie, Malachi, and one-year-old Evelyn. What a great group of cousins! With our 6 children, and now a total of 6 grandbabies, we finally have our dozen family descendants!

Successful families are founded on  forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, wholesome recreational activities, and a nice, healthy dose of faith and prayers that everything will work out for the best.
